Last year I went back to the regular dose and found discomfort for the remainder of the day. On the other hand my wife continues with the super dose unaffected.
We had ask about re-doing the pneumonia shot and were told it was no longer recommended for people over 65? I just recently read an article wherein it was recommended that people 65+ get their pneumonia shot and followed by a booster. I wish the medical community would get its act together

>>11) CDC reports even more adverse events with Fluzone High-Dose.(17)
Sanofi Pasteur’s Fluzone High-Dose is a new influenza vaccine created in 2010 for people over 65 years of age. Even though the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) insists that the vaccine is as safe as any other seasonal vaccine, the fact is that the shot is replete with side effects like pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, headache, muscle aches, fever, and malaise. All the listed negative symptoms were observed during clinical studies for Fluzone High-Dose.
